Product Description The Most Thorough and Far-reaching Revision Yet!The new 5th edition of the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on PVC pipe and fittings. It provides practical engineering and construction information. It includes recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems in both pressure and non-pressure applications. Previous editions have been used by engineers all across North America and around the globe in the utility and consulting engineering sectors, as well as in universities and technical institutions.New to the Fifth EditionFour new chaptersPVC Pressure Pipe InstallationPVC Non-Pressure Pipe InstallationTrenchless Installation of PVC PipeMolecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVCO)Updated and improved graphs and tablesMore open page format The collaborative result of thousands of hours of research and review, the contents of the 5th edition are numerically formatted by section and subsection, as well as by figure and table designation. This allows easy reference and quick access. The Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is a must-have reference for design engineers, public and private pipe utility managers, and students. A more complete text on PVC pipe is not available. From the Back Cover The Handbook of PVC Pipe: Design and Construction is the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association's preeminent publication. Prepared with the objective of being the most comprehensive reference text on PVC pipe and fittings, this handbook provides practical engineering and construction information together with recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems, in both pressure and non-pressure applications. It is used by engineers across North America in the utility and consulting engineering sectors, as well as in universities and technical institutions.
